Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “My faith and troth I give back to thee,
    So may thy soul have rest.”
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 51–52)

    Woe to you, my Princess, when I come ... you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesn’t eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
